Introduction.

Many options await the growing number of Americans reaching retirement. Most stay in place. Some seek exotic locations. Others like the simple pleasures of rural and small-town life. This page is for those in the third group. We invite you to consider relocating to Pickens County, Alabama. As you explore this site you will find testimonies by those who have made this choice, introductions to some of the places, events, and things that make this a good place to retire, and a hearty invitation to come and take a look.

Pickin’ on the Courthouse Square

banjo pickin’

Recently, seven or eight of us got together and made music for a couple of hours.We had a great time playing hymns and bluegrass music. We have set a date for a second pickin’ on the Pickens Courthouse Square in Carrollton at 7pm. It will be Saturday, September 22nd. For all locals: bring your instrument; bring a lawn chair. If more than 15 or 20 show up, we will form a second group. Several of the pickers had enjoyed similar events in places like Mountainview, Arkansas. It just seems appropriate for us to do something like this in Pickens. Should the weather not be good, we can move the music back into the Baptist Association building. So, if you like to pick, blow a harp, or sing along, plan to participate.
